Wormskin explores the mythic forest called Dolmenwood, a weird folklore setting for use with B/X or similar tabletop adventure games. Each issue uncovers various elements of this eldritch realm situated on the leafy verges of Fairy, where austere Drunes rub elbows with weird elf-lords and talking beasts, where witches wander skyclad and armed with sinister magicks to bind the spirits of hapless adventurers. Be wary.

I was wondering if you might know when this might be available in print? I'm about to buy everything in this line of products, and want this one too!!!

Thank you!

The print setup process usually takes about 10-14 days. That's mostly waiting for the proof copy to be shipped to me, to check everything's ok. So it should be less than two weeks now, if you can hold out that long!

It's going to be hard! This setting is right up my alley after having just watched Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell on Netflix and thinking...hmm, there's some amazing stuff for D&D in there. Good job setting my imagination on fire sir...

Glad you're enjoying Dolmenwood, Mike! Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell was one of the main influences on the setting, as it happens, so you've stocked up on some good background fodder there!

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
